A warm, witty, important story about being a young woman today, and what it's like to find a real connection amid all the noise. Perfect for fans of Holly Bourne and Laura Steven's The Exact Opposite of Okay. With Pez, the days felt endless - cycling, climbing trees, sucking sour sweets till our tongues burned. I'd give anything to be that girl again. For four years Vetty Lake has been keeping her heart in hiding. Since her mum died and her family moved out of London it's felt so much safer not to tell people how she really feels. She's never even told anyone she's attracted to girls as well as boys. But now Vetty's seventeen and coming back to London she's determined to start living out loud. She's convinced that reconnecting with her childhood best friend Pez is the key. She was always fearless around him. But when she sees Pez again, he's different. Guarded. It's like their special connection never existed. And suddenly Vetty's sure he's been hiding too...

Just what is a girl supposed to be like anyway? The brilliant second novel by Orlagh Collins - perfect for fans of Holly Bourne and Louise O'Neill.

A warm, wise book about self-acceptance, growing up and having the courage to be who you truly are * Polly Jaffe, Guardian IBW Guide, Best New Kids' Books Summer 2019 *
This moving, funny, life-affirming tonic is as satisfying as a long glass of iced lemonade on a sultry afternoon. * LoveReading4Kids on No Filter *
My thirteen year old daughter devoured No Filter in 24 hours and then talked about it for days * Mariella Frostrup on No Filter *
This, the sophomore novel of Collins, was a truly emotive piece of writing. The prose was gorgeous and the development of Vetty as our main character from beginning to end was a privilege to be a part of * Paper Lanterns *
I thought that All the Invisible Things was extraordinary because the characters were so believable ... I would 100% recommend it! * Teen Titles Magazine *
